I speak this practical prayer for awareness of my spiritual nature in the first person,
And I invite you to take it for yourself,
Also in the first person.
There is one power,
Which I call God.
This power creates everything.
In the beginning,
There was only God.
God shared itself in creating the universe I now experience.
Everything in the universe is part of this divine creative expression.
It all came from the One.
So there cannot be anything else other than the One.
I too must be part of the creative expression of the One.
I too am created by God.
All that I am,
All that I ever was,
And all that I ever will be is God's creative intention taking form as me.
Knowing this,
I know that all I am and all I do takes place within the loving embrace of God.
When I feel joyous,
I am expressing God's infinite potential.
When I feel longing or desire,
I am a channel for God's urge to create something new.
Through all of it,
I am totally aware of my spiritual nature.
I have no need for anguish or despair.
These guiding signals appear as gentle contrasts,
Allowing me to settle more comfortably into my awareness of God's love.
The hand of God is my hand.
The path of God is marked by my footsteps.
The love of God is present in me at every moment,
In every action.
I am in deep gratitude for this awareness and relax easily into the spiritual strength of God.
I speak this word,
Aware that it carries the creative authority of God's own word,
And I know that it is so.
And so it is.
Amen.
